I Bethany U.C.W. Fall Supper Nov. 2nd Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 17,1984 11 BETHANY NEWS (Intended for Last Week) The Bethany U.C.W. met in the Church Hall on Monday, Oct, 1st at 8 p.m. Mrs. Ray Porteous chaired the meeting. Plans were made regarding the coming Fall Supper, on Nov. 2nd in the Bethany United Church. Work is progressing on the re-decorating of the Church Hall, a new floor has been completed, and the walls and woodwork are in the process of being re-painted. The Bethany United Church Anniversary will be held on Sunday, Oct. 21st, at 11 a.m. with Mr. Hugh McCallum, editor of the "Observer" as guest speaker for the event. Plans were made to serve lunch after the service. The Rev. John Lindsay, Bethany United Church minister, was the guest speaker for the program part of the meeting. His topic was on "Prayer" and the need for it in our lives. He explained the Jesus prayer, the prayer of the heart. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me a sinner", or "Be with me in this time of need." What more do we have to be thankful about than to be with our God? The devotional period was under the direction of Mrs. Earl Weatherilt, opening with a verse "Thank You, Lord." The meditation given by Mrs. Robert Jarvest, was "Rejoice and Give Thanks." She said in part: "We are easily aware of our material gifts, but what about the other gifts, for God knows that man cannot live by bread alone. God in His infinite wisdom feeds not only our mortal bodies, but also our spiritual being." The Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison, and a Benediction given by the Rev. John Lindsay. A social half hour was enjoyed over a cup of tea and goodies. All ladies of the congregation congregation are cordially invited to attend the Bethany U.C.W. meetings held on the first Monday evening of the month at 8 p.m. in the Church Hall. The next meeting will be on Monday, Nov. 5th at 8 p.m. in the United Church. The Roll Call is "Please bring a Christmas Tree Decoration for our church tree." Colour theme: red, gold and white. The program: "Gift of Talent." Groups are asked to display their talents. Our sincere apologies for this belated expression of sympathy to Mrs. Violet Carr on the passing of her grandson, grandson, Paul Gilmour. Paul lost his life in a tragic auto accident accident in mid-September. Although he has lived in Toronto areas for the past few years he was still very close to the many former school mates and friends made during his early years of growing up in Bethany. Our sincere sympathy sympathy to his mother, Marie, brother Terry, and step-father Fred West. We are sorry to report that the first resident of our new subdivision, Woodfield Meadows, namely Mr. Van- Dyk, sustained some injuries when his car rolled over recently when on his way to work in the early morning fog. We trust he was not too seriously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Herb Chislett should be home from a holiday in the British Isles by the time this appears in print. We were sorry to learn that Ken Shackleton's mother, a resident of the Lindsay Nursing Nursing Home, recently sustained a broken hip and is currently a patient in Ross Memorial Hospital. Guest speaker in Bethany United Church on Sunday morning was Ms. Connie McKay of "Crossroads", Peterborough. "Crossroads" is a shelter for battered women and children and is partially supported by the United Churches of the area. As well as financial assistance, assistance, the shelter would appreciate donations of women's and children's clothing clothing as women and children who have had to flee their homes often arrive with only the clothes "on their backs."' This Week's News This community was shocked shocked and grieved to learn that O.P.P. Constable Jack Ross who was shot and killed in the incident in Woodstock Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Sunday evening was an uncle of Rev. John Lindsay. Our sincere condolences to the Lindsay family. Mrs. Patricia Jones-Rea and infant daughter Anna have returned to their home in Kitirnat, B.C. after spending a month in eastern Canada and United States. A few days were spent with her parents before and after their visit to England. Her husband, John was unable to accompany her having to return home September 30th. Mrs. Ruth Jennings, Mrs. Nelly Michel, and Mrs. Jeanne McMahon attended the annual Fall Rally of Peterborough South Presbytcrial U.C.W. held in St. James United Church, Peterborough, with 90 ladies in attendance. The evening began with a pot-luck dinner at 6:30. The theme of the Rally was "Living our Faith." The Worship Worship Service.was conducted by Northminster United and the theme speaker was the Rev. Joan Henderson, the dynamic young minister of Keene United Church. The sympathy of the community community is extended to Mr. Wilfred Beggs of Ballyduff area on the recent passing of his mother, Mrs. Vicki Beggs, in her 97th year. Mrs. Beggs, in her earlier years, was a regular visitor to Bethany, shopping in Ryley's store or calling on friends and relatives relatives in the village. Wilfred has been a most devoted son and companion, caring for her so faithfully in her years of failing health. We wish to extend belated congratulations to Ballyduff Presbyterian Church on the completion of their tremendous tremendous renovation project. A special service of re-dedication re-dedication of the church and the dedication of the many memorial gifts was held on Sept. 23rd. Indeed, the "work of many hands" (their generous gifts of time, labour and money) made it all possible possible - a tangible testimonial to what can be achieved when all shoulders are "put to the wheel." Services are held on the first and third Sundays of each month at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Swann hopes to see a Sunday School and a Young People's group started in the near future. He has also emphasized emphasized the importance of increased increased and regular attendance attendance and support in order to avoid a tragedy which could still happen, namely the permanent permanent closing of the Church by the "powers that be." That would be truly heart-breaking after such a gigantic effort to restore the lovely old building to such a beautiful sanctuary for worship. On Saturday evening, Oct. 6th, a host of lovers of Big Band Music, from far and near, journeyed to the Ponty- pool Community Centre for the annual "Nostalgia Night" presented by Wes and Jeanne McMahon. Recorded music by such greats as Guy Lombardo, Sammy Kaye, Benny Goodman, Goodman, the Dorsey brothers, Artie Shaw, etc. from Wes' vast collection was interspersed interspersed by live music by former members of the Jack Gallo- way Orchestra, namely Carlos,, Tamblyn, James ' Lowery, Carman White, Dave Masters and Robert Sisson. Illness and a family dinner party prevented prevented the participation of two other players. However, the above named 'quintet' was highly honoured to be joined by Mr. Tommy Cinnamon on his big bass. ' Tommy has had a long and prestigious career with many 'big name' bands, including several years with Moxie Whitney. A resident of Whitby, he became interested in Wes and Jeanne's Nostalgia Nights when they chanced to meet a few months ago, and expressed expressed a desire to become a part of the 'live music' presentation. presentation. Needless to say, the McMahons were delighted to have him 'aboard'. An unexpected thrill for him occurred when Wes turned on a Moxie Whitney record and Tommy recognized that he had been a member of the band when the record was cut. Taking up his big bass he played along exactly as he had done on that occasion. (Incidentally (Incidentally Wes and Jeanne were most pleased to receive a phone call from Moxie Saturday Saturday morning, wishing them every success on the upcoming upcoming evening. He and his band have been playing at the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, during the summer and, on that particular Saturday night, were playing for the Governor General's Ball! 1) Among the many persons in attendance from Toronto and other points equally distant, the McMahons were honoured to have Mrs. Helen Secord of Oakville. Helen has been a strong supporter of the program program "Sweet, Swing, and Jazz", heard each Sunday evening from St. Catharines and on which Wes and Jeanne have been guests and they were most appreciative of her interest and support for their effort to keep alive 'sweet, swing and jazz' on the local scene! One more interesting feature feature of the evening deserves honourable mention. For the one square dance of the night, the 'caller' was another man who was a part of the Galloway Galloway Band in its very early years, namely Mr. Harold Green, Bethany. Harold has had a widely varied 'career' as 'caller' for many well known bands and, despite many health problems in recent years, his resonant voice brought those 'square dance buffs' to the floor and 'put them through their paces' in a most professional manner. Very nice going, Harold! I A delicious buffet lunch of sandwiches, cheeses and crackers and caloric-laden 'sweets' was much appreciated appreciated by all. mt;: ' m. ■y , , <s£ É&ÉÉilÉÉSllillëll S È I B.H.S.

NEWS By Merrilee Brown School Spirit Bowmanville, Ont, - The fashion world looked to Bowmanville High School last week as avant-garde students were setting trends. Paris has now been challenged as the fashion capital of the world. Tuesday - "Nerd" was the word! Truly trendy students sported "floods" pulled up to their mid-riff, tacky print shirts, horn-rimmed glasses and out-of-date "wimpy" shoes. Wednesday - 50's nostalgia 1 swept the school. "Cool" students wore leather, jeans, "shades" or circle skirts and crinolines. Letter Sweaters were the big items! Thursday - Red and White were the most spirited colours this day. The well-dressed student sported "vogue" combinations of our school colours and showed their true spirit. Friday - "Arctic" was the fashion buzzword. Warm, but enthusiastic students waddled around school in layers of Icelandic sweaters, parkas, ski suits, scarves, goggles and mukluks. Even the heat was turned up for the occasion. Actually, these weird and wacky manners of dress were all a part of the Student Council's Council's most successful United Way Campaign ever. Throngs of students showed their school spirit by dressing up. They were encouraged by having a 50 cent discount on their dance ticket for each day that they participated. Throughout the week many fun and fund-raising activities were planned by the Council. The bubble gum contest was won by Mike Coombes who can do simply amazing things with a piece of gum. His prize was a free Pizza from Square Boy's. David Smith held the winning estimate of 310 jelly beans (actually there were 331) in the Jelly Bean Contest. For his "guesstimation" prowess, he received a free VCR Rental. Red and White Day(Thurs- day) was capped off by a very "peppy" Pep Rally. A Pep Band was led by Kerri Smith on cymbals and Andrea Anfossi on bass drum. The band made up in enthusiasm what it may have lacked in skill. A select group of male cheerleaders proved to be almost too much for the enthusiastic crowd. Their antics, not to mention their pompoms, sent the audience into fits of laughter. Free VCR rentals were given away as door prizes, and after the rally the football team went on to play an energetic game. The week ended with a record-setting dance on Friday night. Just under 700 people attended or close to two-thirds of the entire school population. The dance alone raised close to $2000.00 for the United Way. It has become a tradition at Bowmanville High . School to hold a "spirit week" and in the past, the Heart Fund and the Arthritis Society have been aided in this way. More recently, the United Way has become the recipient of the funds raised by the Bowmanville Bowmanville High School Students. Such campaigns give the student body an opportunity to develop school spirit by working together for a worthwhile worthwhile cause. Last year, about $2000.00 was raised for the United Way Campaign; this year that goal will probably be surpassed, thanks to a dedicated dedicated Students Council, generous sponsors and an enthusiastic student body.
